Pyrite
A stone of confidence, abundance and inner power.
With its metallic golden sheen and naturally occurring geometric forms, Pyrite has an unmistakable presence. Often called “Fool’s Gold” because of its resemblance to the precious metal, Pyrite is actually an iron sulfide mineral. Its name comes from the Greek word pyr, meaning fire, referring to the sparks it can create when struck against a hard material.
Traditionally associated with protection, confidence and abundance, Pyrite is often regarded as a stone of personal power. It is believed to strengthen determination, encourage self-belief and help you stand firmly behind your ideas and ambitions.
Its golden appearance has also made Pyrite a symbol of prosperity, opportunity and success. In crystal traditions, it is often chosen when you are ready to take action rather than simply wait for things to change — encouraging a mindset of possibility, courage and purposeful movement.
A stone for believing in your own potential, protecting your energy and having the courage to turn your ideas into something real.
